OK. I realize that the weather outside feels frightful. Sure. We still have 51 days until the new year. I mean, we still need to get through Thanksgiving and all of the other end-of-the-year holidays. But, I found that it is never too early to start planning for the summer. Apparently, our beach communities agree. Here is the information you need to purchase 2023 Jersey Shore beach badges this month.
2023 Jersey Shore Beach Badges
2023 Ventnor Beach Badges on Sale Now
The 2023 Ventnor beach badges went on sale early last week (November 1st). You may purchase them by visiting City Hall during regular business hours (8 am to 4 pm every Monday through Friday). But, if you cannot make it during the week, go to City Hall on December 3rd or 4th between 10 am and 2 pm. Buying your beach badge now saves you money, too. You pay $10 for ages 12 to 64 and $3.50 for ages 65+. Veterans receive their badges for free with a military ID. Special holiday designs are available for $12 while supplies last. So, get yours now! In June, prices double.
2023 Margate Beach Badges for Sale Soon
The 2023 Margate beach badges go on sale starting the week of Thanksgiving (November 21st). Prices for Margate’s badges are the same as Ventnor’s. And you may use one badge to visit either city’s beaches. However, they will only be available for sale at the Martin Bloom Pavilion from 9 am to 2:30 pm every Monday through Friday. They will not be available on weekends or holidays.
2023 Longport Beach Badge Design Contest
Longport’s beach badges are not yet available. That’s because the City is currently hosting its 2023 Longport Beach Badge Design Contest. Open to all Longport kids ages 5 to 10, the contest ends on December 30th, 2022. Judges select two designs from all submissions received: one for the regular seasonal tag and one for the senior tag. Download your entry here, fill it out, then submit your child’s design and the contest form via email or snail mail. (Information will be provided on the entry form.)
We may be gearing up for Thanksgiving right now, but it’s never too early to start planning for next summer. Special holiday tags will only be available while supplies last. So, get your 2023 Jersey Shore beach badges as soon as possible.
